Instructions
In a saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir, so the sugar is dissolved. Set the sugar syrup aside and let it cool.
In a serving pitcher, pour 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar syrup and 8 cups of cold water, and stir to combine.
Add the lemon slices to the lemonade pitcher.
Notes
For the best tasting lemonade, use filtered water instead of tap water.
